The existence of a second two-disk galaxy suggests that the Milky Way is rather vanilla, perhaps because the two types of supernovae naturally produce thin and thick disks in most spiral galaxies.

While good news for the Milky Way galaxy, the latest forecast may be moot for humanity. “We likely won’t live to see the benefit," lead author Till Sawala of the University of Helsinki said in ...
